Determinism is a fairly broad thesis, and some formulations of it does not "work" with Swartz's regularity theory. Below I have outlined some different deterministic theses. Minimal Causal Determinism (MCD): All events are caused. Necessarian Causal Determinism (NCD): "[G]iven a specified way things are at a time t, the way things go thereafter is fixed as a matter of natural law."
